Sayed Masroor

I suspect this is an autobiography; regardless of this, it appears to concern a non-notable person who does not meet WP:NACTOR. The only film listed in the article that has been released and features on IMDb is Harud and suggests Masroor is credited as a writer. A quick check on IMDb shows no such credit. Their other claims to fame are either insignificant or fail WP:CORP. Pol430 talk to me 19:48, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The article's current sources all seem to deal more with Masroor's expose of laundering illicit funds within the Bollywood film industry, than with Masroor himself. If more were forthcoming that dealt with the filmaker's purported-as-award-winning Harudh (2011), a Hindi film about the Kashmir Conflict, we might be better able to make a sounder determination under WP:FILMMAKER.

Delete as too soon - Aside from the guest blog for IBN, the 4th reference from the top is the only link that mentions him and yet it is brief. Despite multiple detailed News searches, I haven't found much and although this could be because he is foreign, his LinkedIn profile even shows that he hasn't established himself as notable. The article claims Gubaare was a short so it was likely an indie film and the article also never clarifies information about Winter (says "unreleased" but also lists 2008 as the release date). At best, the article could be selectively merged and redirected somewhere but there wouldn't be much to support it. I'm willing to reconsider if non-English sources are found but, considering the few projects he has had, there probably wouldn't be any. SwisterTwister talk 21:00, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
